Huh? I’m studying the volcano. Are you a camper from one of the nearby camps?
((totally fine – i know stuff happens. Glad to see you back! 🙂
What’s it to you?
Well, my daughter’s a camper at the Camp Campbell. I’m just curious, really.
Yes. I am.
Oh, I see. *smiles* What are you doing out in the forest, buddy? Nice hoodie, by the way.
Trying to find the best way to set it on fire.
Oh, that’s – hey, wait… don’t do that. That’s very dangerous, and also very illegal.
Well, I want to die, but I also want this stupid fucking camp to burn with me.
….
Jesus…Um, I don’t think you mean that, kiddo. That’s a very permanent, uh… ‘solution’ for whatever problem you’re facing. Hey, do you have a name?
It’s max. And I can tell you with certainty that I do mean that. I even managed to snag a bottle of lighter fluid and some matches.
What? Oh my god – okay, look, son, I now you think you mean it, but you’re, what… you’re only nine? You’re young! You don’t wanna make that mistake, believe me!
